Variable power levels add flexibility to
microwave cooking. The power levels on the
microwave oven can be compared to the
surface units on a range. Each power level
gives you microwave energy a certain percent
of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energy
70% of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30%
of the time. Most cooking will be done on High
(power level 10) which gives you 100% power.
Power level 10 will cook faster but food may
need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning
over. A lower setting will cook more evenly
and need less stirring or rotating of the food.
Some foods may have better flavor, texture or
appearance if one of the lower settings is used.
Use a lower power level when cooking foods
that have a tendency to boil over, such as
scalloped potatoes.
Rest periods (when the microwave energy
cycles off) give time for the food to "equalize"
or transfer heat to the inside of the food. An
example of this is shown with power level 3--
the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did not
cycle off, the outside of the food would cook
before the inside was defrosted.
Here are some examples of uses for various
power levels:
High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling
liquids.
Meal-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and
poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing
for stews and less tender cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate
sauces.
Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.
